Chapter 819
Arius knew what she meant. It’s true that we need to have faith in everything we do. Without faith, we can never succeed in anything.
“You can leave first. I want to be alone for a while,” said Sophie.
“Sure.”
After Arius went downstairs, Sophie was alone on the top floor.
She took out her phone and called Tristan.
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing much. How about you? Are you running out of ideas?”
“Yes.”
“Sophie, you have tried your best. All these have nothing to do with you. There’s no need to pressurize yourself.”
“I know.”
“Are you missing me? Do you want me to come over?” If nothing could be done, then it would be better not to do anything.
“It’s all right. There’s no need for you to come here.”
Even if he did, there was nothing much he could do to help.
“But, I want to see you. You want to see me, too, right?” Otherwise, she would not have phoned him.
“Yes.”
It was true. That was why she gave him a call.
“But, there’s really no need for you to come over. I’m going back to work now. Once I’m done, I’ll go over and look for you.”
“Okay.”
Tristan did not force her, knowing that she was a very responsible person. If she took over certain responsibilities, she would not give up so easily.
Sophie then returned to the laboratory.
That was the first time she ran out of ideas.
After Arius returned to the laboratory, he began a new experiment. Unfortunately, it still failed in the end.
That made him feel very lousy.
When Barney saw Arius’ expression, he knew what the result was.
Barney went over and patted his shoulders.
“Don’t worry. Everything takes time.”
No matter how capable a person might be, there was no way one could foresee the future.
It would be normal for anyone to fail several times before he or she could achieve success.
Sophie also joined them.
“Dr. Smith, please don’t worry about us. We know what we should do.” After all, that was supposed to be a team effort.
The problem was no one from the International Medical Association wanted to collaborate with them.
They did not trust them anymore.
That was the cause of the current problem.
“Dr. Smith, I think we should redistribute our workload.” Since no one from the International Medical Association was able to trust them, they would have to have faith in themselves.
“Fine. What do you suggest, then? We’ll go along with your idea.”
Barney had always trusted Sophie very much.
He would support her no matter what decisions she made.
Sophie handed the two men a piece of paper each.
“I have already listed the work that needs to be done. Just follow according to this list.”
Right now, she had no confidence that it would work.
The only thing they could do was give it a shot.
“Sure, no problem. I’ll do my best to cooperate with you.” At that instant, Arius had run out of ideas.
He found Sophie’s way of distributing the workload to be very reasonable.
“I’m fine with it too. From now on, let’s continue with our work, then!”
They decided to risk it all now.
If it did not work out, they would have to give it up.
In the medical world, not everything had a solution in the end.
More often than not, their attempts would result in failure.
Meanwhile, Tristan took a shower and had a change of clothes before he drove to the International Medical Association.
He knew he could not gain entry, but he was adamant about getting his way.
However, knowing that Sophie did not want him to be there, he controlled himself in the end and did not go into the association.
Because of that, he bumped into Nicholas!
Tristan could not help but frown when he saw him there.
At the same time, Nicholas noticed him too!
Obviously, the two men were there for the same reason.
They were there to see Sophie.
Nicholas got out of his car and walked up to Tristan’s car.
“Don’t look at me like this. I’m just here to see her. What’s wrong with that?” I thought they weren’t married yet, no? Why is he so possessive of her?
“I’m not interested in why you are here. You don’t have to tell me.”
“Tristan, don’t waste your energy. You won’t find Butterfly.”
Nicholas knew what Tristan was up to recently.
However, he did not interfere because he knew Tristan could not locate her.
Tristan decided to ignore him. As far as he was concerned, Nicholas was a lunatic. The more he entertained Nicholas, the crazier he would become.
“To be honest, I haven’t seen Sophie for a few days now. I really miss her,” mumbled Nicholas.
Still, Tristan ignored him. What right does he have to miss my woman?
Just then, Tristan’s phone rang. It was Sophie.
“Are you done? I’m outside the International Medical Association now. If you are done with your work, let’s have a meal together!”
She had been busy for the past few days.
“I have just resolved the matter. We have an idea now. I thought I told you to rest at the hotel. What are you doing here?”
The association was a dangerous place.
“I miss you. That’s why I’m here. I’m waiting for you here. It won’t take up too much of your time. After all, you need to eat. It’s only a meal.”
“All right, then. Hold on for a while. Let me change my clothes, and I’ll be out in a minute.” He’s right. It’s time to eat something. No matter how urgent things may be, there is still time for a meal.
During his conversation with her, Tristan had completely forgotten about the man who was standing next to him.
Unfortunately, Nicholas had heard everything.
Yet, he stood there with no intention of leaving.
If he had been the one to phone Sophie, she would not have come out.
Now that Sophie was coming out, he had to join them for the meal.
“Nicholas, why are you still here? We’re going on a date. Why must you insist on being a third wheel?” This man is so obtuse.
Does he not know that he isn’t welcome here?
“It’s only a meal. Don’t think too highly of yourself.” Nicholas was bitter about it.
That was what angered him the most.
Tristan could pull off any stunt he wanted to with ease, but the same could not be said for Nicholas.
To top it off, those things mattered the most to Nicholas.
Sophie did not expect both men to bump into one another. The moment they met, they wanted to kill each other.
A smile appeared on Nicholas’ face when he saw Sophie.
“It’s been a while. Since you guys are going for a meal, can you bring me along? I’m alone, and it’s boring to eat by myself,” Nicholas stated his intent.
“Nicholas, we’re going on a date. Do you think it’s right that you go with us?” Right now, all Tristan wanted to do was fight with him.
“What’s wrong with it? No matter what, Sophie and I are friends. It’s only dinner. It won’t affect anything.” Nicholas was persistent in getting his way.
